Oftentimes, its hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The visual underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M590 and S6900.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M590 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon S6900 will offer extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older M590 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
